Printer Fleet Management

Buying copier/printer toner can be confusing. Most boxes look the same, there are so many different types, and it’s hard to keep track of when you’re running low, leaving you with an empty cartridge in the middle of a workday.  

After being in the copier/printer industry for over 35 years, we’ve seen all of the different problems and mistakes that can be made when it comes to buying toner- and we’ve seen the best ways to ensure your organization will have exactly what it needs.  

Deciding whether or not to sign a maintenance agreement can be a big decision for some businesses, but having toner automatically shipped straight to your door is oftentimes the biggest deciding factor. We’ve written this article to help you figure out if auto-toner shipments make sense for your printing needs, or if you’d rather just go out and buy your own toner.  

Navigating the copier/printer industry and looking for a reliable print vendor can be quite the hassle. You may not know if you’re getting the best deals, the best equipment, or even if you’re working with the best vendor.

If your organization is looking into partnering with a print vendor, or if you’re interested in how managed print services could benefit you, then conducting a managed print services study is the next step in the process.

We’ve written this article to give you a better idea of what to expect when undergoing a managed print services study, and so that you can feel prepared and confident you’re getting the best assessment possible.  

Do you know how much your organization is spending on color prints? When was the last time that you took a look at your printing records, or your invoices? 

Printing can become a big cost for businesses that aren’t keeping up with their print volume, and especially color printing. That’s why as an experienced print vendor we recommend all businesses to utilize some form of print management or color tracking.  

What is Color Tracking? 

Color tracking refers to the process of regulating color prints and controlling the costs by using a form of print management. 

This feature allows users to view and manage who within their organization can print, color or black and white, how much they can print, and even when they can print. They can then set limits and conditions to control printing costs.

You may have heard about Managed Print Services before- but do you know what it really is and what it encompasses? In this article, we’ll break down exactly what it is and how it can benefit your organization and employees.
